BXBX NOVEL Chapter 93 Flying Sword
I apologize for the delay in uploading new content. Today proved to be an exceptionally busy and vexing day for me.
I had pressing matters to attend to at the government office, enduring the arduous task of waiting in line for hours on end.
Adding to my dismay, the scorching heat exacerbated the ordeal. It was not until around 3:30 pm that I finally returned home, leaving me with limited time to dedicate to writing a chapter.
I humbly request your support for this book, considering the challenges I faced to deliver it amidst such circumstances. Your appreciation would greatly acknowledge the efforts invested in its creation.

Yuan dismounted from his horse and began surveying the surroundings, planning the arrangement of their camp.
"Let\'s organize our belongings and set up the tents over there," he pointed to a level area beneath the tree. "We\'ll have a cozy spot to rest and enjoy the peacefulness of the river nearby."
Anna, Grace, Lily, and Emma followed suit, dismounting their horses and retrieving the necessary supplies from their storage rings.
Yuan and Emma worked together to set up the tent, their movements synchronized as they secured the poles and fastened the fabric. With their combined effort, the tent stood firm, ready to provide shelter for the night.
As they finished, Anna called out to Yuan, reminding him of the approaching darkness. "Dear, the sun is setting down. It will be dark soon. Please go and find some dry tree branches to make a fire."
Yuan nodded in understanding. "Alright, I\'ll go and search for them."
He activated his divine sense, tapping into his heightened senses to aid him in his search. With his perception heightened, he began scanning the surroundings for suitable dry branches.
Using his divine sense, Yuan quickly located a pile of dry branches gathered near the riverbank. Their brittle texture and the absence of moisture made them perfect for kindling a fire, he swiftly made his way toward the pile.
Yuan collected a considerable amount of dry wood, ensuring they had enough to sustain a warm and comforting fire throughout the night. He carried the branches back to their camping location.
Returning to the campsite, Yuan deposited the bundle of dry branches near the designated spot for the fire.
His family gathered around, their eyes bright with anticipation as they watched him prepare the fire.
As the campfire crackled and cast its warm glow upon them, Anna took out a sizable chunk of Violent Red Boar meat from her storage ring.
Placing it on a sturdy chopping board, she began deftly preparing the meat for roasting over the fire. Her skilled hands moved with precision, expertly slicing and seasoning the meat.
Meanwhile, the girls gathered around, ready to assist Anna in cooking the meal.
Observing their actions, Yuan\'s thoughts drifted to his Soul Weapon, \'Empyreal Oblivion,\' which he had obtained after defeating the Orc Lord.
He reached into his system storage and retrieved the gleaming sword. Holding it in his hands, he contemplated the possibilities.
"Now that I\'m in the second level of the Spirit Master realm," Yuan mused to himself, "shouldn\'t I be able to fly using a flying sword? Just like those fantasy novels from my old world."
To his surprise, Nora responded, [Indeed, after the host\'s breakthrough into the Spirit Master realm, you have gained the ability to manipulate the spiritual energy inside your body. With this newfound control, you can use a flying sword to take to the skies.]
A spark of excitement ignited in Yuan\'s eyes as he listened to Nora\'s explanation. The idea of soaring through the air, navigating the world on a flying sword, filled him with a sense of wonder and adventure.
With a determined glint in his eyes, Yuan exclaimed, "Let\'s give it a try!"
He tossed the sword into the air, manipulating the spiritual energy within him. To his surprise, instead of falling, the sword remained suspended in the air, defying gravity as if held by an invisible force.
"Oh my god!" Yuan exclaimed, his eyes widening in astonishment as he watched the sword floating before him.
Ever since he had transmigrated into this world with a cultivation system, he had been eagerly anticipating the opportunity to try something like this, to experience the extraordinary abilities of a cultivator.
With an excited voice, he declared, "Let\'s give it a try!"
Gathering his focus, he leaped onto the floating sword, eager to take flight.
However, much to his surprise, he quickly lost his balance and fell from the sword, his feet slipping off its surface.
"Agh!"
Undeterred by the initial setback, Yuan dusted himself off and made another attempt, determined to master this skill.
"Agh!"
"Ugh!"
"Hiss!"
Again, he found himself crashing to the ground, unable to maintain his balance on the massive sword.
"This is harder than I thought," Yuan admitted, his voice tinged with a touch of frustration. But he refused to lose hope.
Undeterred by the numerous failures that resulted in him kissing the ground or having his backside meet the dirt, Yuan persisted.
With each attempt, he learned from his mistakes and adjusted his technique.
After countless trials and errors, Yuan finally felt a breakthrough.
He leaped onto the sword once more, but this time, he focused on controlling the spiritual energy around his legs and feet, and successfully balanced himself on the sword.
"Yes, I did it!" Yuan exclaimed with jubilation after standing on the flying sword without falling, his voice carrying through the air.
He marveled at the sensation of floating above the ground, the wind rushing past him.
Nora\'s voice resonated in Yuan\'s mind, congratulating him on his achievement. [Congratulations, Host! You have finally learned how to fly, ] she exclaimed.
[Why don\'t you try moving around a bit? Just be careful not to increase the speed too much, or you might find yourself kissing the ground once again.]
"Thanks, Nora," Yuan replied with gratitude. "Let me give it a try."
With determination, he focused on manipulating the spiritual energy around his legs and feet, visualizing himself floating upward slightly.
To his delight, he began to ascend, stopping at a comfortable height.
Excitement filled Yuan\'s voice as he exclaimed, "It\'s far easier than balancing on the sword!"
He marveled at the freedom and control he felt while suspended in the air.
Feeling more confident, Yuan decided to test his ability further. Slowly, he started to move, gliding through the air at a leisurely pace of about two meters per second.
Surprisingly, he maintained his balance effortlessly and didn\'t fall.
"It\'s too easy," Yuan remarked with a sense of exhilaration.
"Let\'s increase the speed a bit."
With a burst of determination, he increased his velocity, propelling himself forward at around 25 kilometers per hour.
The wind rushed past him as he gained a greater understanding of maneuvering through the air.
Yuan remained within a reasonable distance from the campsite, ensuring the safety of his family.
He circled around the camping location, gradually increasing his speed while getting acquainted with the sensation of flying under his own will.
As he soared through the air, Yuan\'s heart swelled with joy and a sense of accomplishment.
He marveled at the beauty of the world from this newfound perspective, appreciating the vastness and wonder that lay beyond the earthbound limitations.
With each passing moment, Yuan\'s confidence soared alongside him. He realized that this ability opened up a world of possibilities and exploration.
The skies were no longer bound by mere imagination; they had become his playground.
Back at the camp, the enticing aroma of the cooked meal filled the air. Anna, Grace, Lily, and Emma finished preparing the food, their mouths watering in anticipation.
Meanwhile, Xi Meili watched with sparkling eyes, eagerly waiting to taste the delicious feast.
Anna glanced around the campsite, her brows furrowing in concern. She turned to Grace, Emma, Lily, and Xi Meili, asking, "Where did Yuan go? Why isn\'t he here with us?"
Grace also scanned the surroundings, perplexed. "He was here just an hour ago. Where did he disappear to?"
Lily, feeling responsible for her brother\'s whereabouts, stood up and declared, "I\'ll go check the tent." As she took a step toward the tent, a familiar voice echoed through the air.
"You guys don\'t need to look for me. I\'m already here," Yuan\'s voice rang out.
Confusion filled their faces as they heard his voice but couldn\'t see him anywhere nearby. They looked around, perplexed, trying to catch a glimpse of him.
Anna, her expression puzzled, questioned, "Where is he? Why can\'t we see him?"
Yuan couldn\'t help but chuckle at their confusion as he levitated in the air, about four meters above the ground. With a mischievous smile, he called out, "Where are you all looking? Look above!"
Everyone\'s gaze shot upward, their eyes widening in shock and surprise—everyone except Xi Meili.
They beheld Yuan standing on his sword, suspended in midair. Their astonishment and amazement mingled, creating an electrifying atmosphere in the camp.
"He can fly?!" Anna exclaimed in disbelief, her voice tinged with a mix of awe and surprise.
"He\'s floating in the air!" Grace added, her eyes filled with wonder.
Lily, her heart swelling with pride for her brother\'s remarkable accomplishment, remarked, "Yuan... he\'s really done it."
Emma joined in, her voice filled with excitement. "That\'s incredible! He\'s like a God from the legends."
Xi Meili simply smiled, her eyes gleaming with admiration. She had believed in Yuan\'s potential from the start.
As Yuan descended gracefully from the sky, his feet gently touching the ground, his family surrounded him, their faces filled with a blend of astonishment, pride, and admiration.
They congratulated him, expressing their awe and joy at witnessing his newfound ability.
